ABSTRACT
This system is designed and constructed to get and store the information, is collected
from GPS module, at the computer, and monitor them on both the LCD and the
computer. Module uses the NMEA standards, micro-controller decodes these NMEA
sentences.
MAIN COMPONENTS

GPS module
LCD
Arduino as MCU
Battery
Computer
PROCESS
GPS module gets the data from satellites
and transfer them to the MCU. The MCU
decodes the data and send them to the
computer and LCD.The computer shows
the location on an integrated online
Google Map to the user.
Software with two different theme options
CONCLUSION
The GPS module can get the data successfully and transfer them to MCU. MCU sends
these data to the computer and LCD. This system can not work properly indoor
because of the this GPS module, if it is possible to use a more professional one it is also
possible to obtain more specific data and it is easier to get data indoor. This system
can be easily adapted to the vehicle tracking system.
